After a 26 hour bus ride from Sölvesborg, Sweden (through Holland and Belgium) Interesting Guy has found himself in…
Derby, UK
52°55.32?N1°28.55?W
- Population - 236,000
- The city has Roman, Saxon and Viking origins.
- Derby and Derbyshire were centers of Britain’s Industrial Revolution. In 1717, Derby was the site of the first water powered silk mill in Britain.
- An industrial boom began in Derby when Rolls-Royce opened a car and aircraft factory in the town in 1907.
- Derby Arboretum was the first public park in the country and is thought to have been one of the inspirations for Central Park in New York.
Ok…sooo maybe this blog as a bad idea. I’m sooo jealous! Derby sounds awesome. It’s adorable and lovely and there’s sooo much to do!!
Well…with Rolls-Royce plc being one of the two biggest employers in the area (the Toyota Motor Corporation is the second) and first water powered silk mill in Britain…hopefully he’ll bring home some awesome goodies!! :)
London. Take me there.
